Maybe that because we have been fools for years, or at least our government has been. We have spent billions of $ and have lost thousands of our young men's and women's lives fighting radical islamists (Taliban) in one country while we back radical islamists (Muslim Brotherhood) in another country a few hundred miles away. It's the same basic contradictory situation that would have existed 70 years ago if we had backed Nazi Germany against the Brits in Europe while at the same time we also backed the Brits against Imperialist Japan in the Pacific theater.
IOW, our leaders of the last 2 decades have either been dumber than a box of rocks or they have deliberately brought the US to the brink of a major league disaster for some arcane purpose that we can only guess at. My best guess is both of the above.
Sad state of affairs when the productive American citizen has no idea what our leaders are trying to accomplish or what their motivation is
